The American manufacturer wants to inscribe Corvette into the future with an incredible… and electric concept. Fans are gasping.
The venom is injected patiently, not to kill the customer, but to generate antibodies that will make him resistant to Chevrolet’s next invention: a 100% electric Corvette.
The treatment is carried out in well-defined phases. First, the engine was abandoned from the front position to copy the Italian or English models whose mechanics are at the back of the passengers. The graft took, and the performance indeed followed. But the charm took a hit, not to mention the design that copies modern codes, with a real loss of identity.
Today, Chevrolet is increasing the dosage with a California concept where the engine is neither at the front nor at the back, but at all four wheels. An all-wheel-drive Corvette? Yes, but not only: it’s electric too.

What’s the Point?
Chevrolet insists: this design study is not intended to go into production one day, but is a creative exercise in view of a potential upcoming hypercar. This semantic game fools no one: the California concept is meant to prepare mindsets.
In reality, Chevrolet is putting its design studios in competition, with California being the second study presented this year, and a third one expected soon. The rendering is superb, but it would take a keen observer to identify it as a Corvette if no logo were present on the nose.
The technical sheet is minimal because everything is just a shell in its current state. The body is made of carbon, the aerodynamics are active, the wheels measure 21 and 22 inches in diameter at the front and back, and the wheelbase is 2767 mm.
Standing 1051 mm high, 2184 mm wide, and 4669 mm long, this Corvette California could display 3000 electric horses and still not evoke much emotion. Road hypercars make less sense when a Chinese electric SUV can already provide 1300 horses on demand.
The world is getting crazier every day.
